The States remarks :
" l'he managers of the Sugar Trust,
are so well pleased with the result of
the election that they have frozen the
Baltimore members of the organiza
tion out. However there will be
precious little sympathy expressed for
the Baltimore crowd, as they should
have understood that there is no honor
amoDg thieves."
The ouly pity is, that in their inor
dinate greed they do n at all freeze
themselves out lor all time. The
Sugar trust, and all other tiusts for
that matter, ought to be strangled out
of existence without much ado.
A cablegram from London savs the
Pall Mall Gazette publishes a dispatch
from Calais, 'France, announcing that
plans are making to establish a lino of
steamships to run between New Or
leans and Calais to carry grain, cot
ton and general merchandise.
Now that New Otleans is waking up
to her importance as a port, there is
no reason why she slionld not reach
out in every direction. She possesses
unsurpassed and nnsurpassable advan
tages as the gateway for the vast com
merce of the Mississippi delta, and she
has only to make the effort to develop
these advantages to her great material
benefit aud prosperity, splendor and
grandeur.
A Gigantic Lumber Syndicate lias
been planted and will soon he put in
operation. The object of its promoters
is to bring all the saw mi'ls of the
country under one control and one
general management, with the lauda
ble purpose of forcing the market to
pay better prices. Of course, these
lumber manufacturers will besiege the
halls of congress, when the new con
gress meets, to plead for protection to
their American industry, and will
labor hard to demonstrate how impos
sible it is for them to compete with
the pauper labor of the foreign man
ntacturers.
The move of the lumbermen is the
first noted, following the election of
( McKinley, but there will be others
following suit. High protection,
trusts, combines aud syndicates go
hand in h and. _
In speaking of the revival of busi
ness since the election a correspon
dent of the New York World invites
attention to the significant fact that
this improvement in manufactures and
in general prosperity lias taken place
under existing tariff - conditions—in
other woids, that we do not need any
additional tariff duties—and adds:
This truth will become more plainly
manifested during the next four
months."
The manufacturers are committing
a serious mistake in thus heralding a
revival of business under the present
tariff, for when they " seek undeV the
new administration to have the tariff
rates raised they will find the present
reyival a stumbling block in their
way. Perhaps, the manufacturers
have come to the conclusion that a
tariff schedule averaging over 40 per
cent, is high enough for practical pur
poses. ' _
WASTED AD VICE
The following bit of advice is given
by the Morgan City Independent Demo
crat:
"If you have some thing Dice to sell,
cover it up and don't advertise it. In
this way you will always have it on
hand whenrany one calls for it."
Why, this is worse than "sweetness
wasted on the desert air," so far as
some merchants are concerned. They
don't need to be told to do this thing;
it is the ve;y thing they have been
doing all their lives. When they are
not busy covering up their nice things
(which they should advertise, instead)
they are occnpied in bewailing their
hard luck and grumbling about hard
times and wondering why others (who
advertise! are doidg so much better.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
PICTURE.
Id another column we reproduce
"Good Times and Fake News" from
the Daily States of last week, in which
it is shown that the opening of facto
ries and the resumption of buainess
beraled as following on the heels of
Major McKinley exist, in some instan
ces at least, only in the fertile imagi
nations of enterprising newspaper re
porters, wlieu uot specially made up
cases to suit the occasion.
Since then, we have received the
last, issue of the Catholic Minor pub
lished at Baltimore and in it we find a
letter from Augusta Ga.. under date of
the 18th int-r. from that ever interest
ing writer, James R. Randall whose
eomments ou the same subject we sub
join.
"I see that some of the halting
Democrats who vot> d tor "McKinley
and Prosperity" have swiftly had a
disagieeable object lesson. liefer to
manner in which one of the Republi
can trusts laid its heavy hand on the
sugar refinery at Curtis Bay. The
Baltimore stockholders will probably
he able to mingle their tears with
stockholders in your great railroad
company. The monopolies, trusts
and foieign bond-holders may well
laugh at their victims. We hear much
of factories resuming operations, hut
nothing, iu some quarters, of the other
side of the picture. An Ohio paper
states that a great railway corporation
made a reduction of 10 per cent, in
the wages of their section employes of
this division, as well as discharging a
number of them. The Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Daytou Company,
which was the father of the tailroan
employes' "sound money" club move
ment in Northwestern Ohio, discharg
ed several car builders anil carpenters
employed in their shops here. It is
veiy fortunate lor the gold men that
these redactions did not take place
before election. The men who were
reduced 10 per cent in wages were le
duced 12 1-2 per cent in time,
This is a dispatch ftorn Auburn,
Me.
Notices to the effect that it McKin
ley weie elected employes of the Asa
Cushman Shoe Manufacturing Compa
ny would get more work and better
wages, were posted in the shops sev
eral days before election. Yesterday
the vampers, wages were reduced from
eight to six cents a case, and the
best men, who have been earuiug
$160, will now average $1,20 a day.
This work paid from 15 to 20 cents a
case four years ago, and to day's cut
of 25 per cent, is very discouraging to
the men.

into the hands of a rceiver. The road
is to be wrecked, evidently in the in
terest, of t lie foreign bondholders, and
the American stockholders are to lose
all thev have in the road. It is our
opinion that the piesent decision in
favor of the gold standard means the
ultimate ownership of the American
tail roads by the foreign bondholders
in whose interest sbey have been and
will be managed.
Since the election, the Cincinnati
branch of the Leather Trust reduced
the wages of employes ten per cent,
and raised the price of their products
two cents per pound. Workingmen
will prepare to enjoy Thanksgiving."
Beside these instances of reductions
ef wages, there have been numerous
others reported in the papers, as well
as business failures, since the an
nouncement of the first spurt of good
times and returning prosperity. We
note these facts, not that we rejoice
over them, and would not have them
otherwise, if we could, hut simply to
show tfiat the "good tunes" business
has been overdone by the friends of
the "Advanced Agent of Prosperity."

hut rather retard it, when the truth
becomes known.

HOYTS COMEDY CO.
Robinson's Opera House was seldom
if ever as full of people as it was last
night the gathering oeiug to witness
the first performance of Hoyt's Come
dy Co., is hilled to lay Jackson the
entire week.
The play last night was a simple
bnt pretty little society drama entitled
"A Woman'ii Reveuge" in which Miss
Hazel Harrison took the leading role.
The people of Jackson have often
paid a dollar to witness worse shows,
and after seeing this woDder how it is
that Hoyt can afford to put so many
clever actors ou the road at "popular
prices." There are no special stars in
the company, but Miss Harrison as
leading lady, is hacked np by a good
support, all of them well up to the
average and some of them better than
a great many of the high-priced peo
ple who occasionally come to Jackson
and the company is therefore well
worthy a generous patronage.
Tonight "In Old Kentucky'' will be
the attraction. It has been plaved
here before by this company, and is
one of the best in their repertoire, de
picting one phase of Southern life in a
forcible and interesting way, and in
troducing specialties that are hound to
please.—Jackson (Miss.) Clarion-Led
ger, Nov. 11,1896,
At the Opera House all next week, i
Our esteemed contemnorary, the
Iberville South remarks anent an edi
torial of the Donaldsonville times on
what is becoming a vexatious ques
tion t
"The DonaldsoDville Times com
plains that the heavy importation of
Italian and Sicilian laborers to the
plantations is an evil that requires at
tention. The Tunes very correctly
says that when a colored man gets
hold of a dollar the coin immediately
circulates, bn! when an Italian gets
hold of one off to Italy it goes. The
negro is a far better citizen than the
Italian and tin employment of the
hitter by the planters in preference to
the former has never been iutelligeut
ly explained."
We have discussed this matter with
some employers ot this class of labor
ers and invariably they claimed that
the Italian is preferable to the negro
because more reliable. He is apt and
readily learns to work and can he de
pended on to work when needed,
wtiile the negro is given to "lay off"
when lie is most in demand.
While this quality of steadiness is
desirable, it, is nevertheless true that
the Italian laborers are of very little
good to the community at large. They
live segregated lives, dealing almost
exclusively among themselves, seldom
spend a nickel with our merchants,
anil send their enrnitigg abroad. No
community can prosper with such a
class ot laborers, and wherever our
native white and colored laborers will
do as well,—and they can do much
better, whenever they are so minded—
they should be given the preference
over the Italians.
THE WALLACE SHOWS.
The celebrated Wallace circus
reached here last Wednesday on
scheduled tune aud gave performances
in the afternoon anil at night. Not
withstanding the muddy condition of
our streets due to the heavy rainfall of
l Monday, the street parade which took
I place before the afternoon peifoim
' ance was ciedifahle and much appre
ciated.
Mr. Wallace has a big stock of fine
horses, and the cavalcade of actors
and actresses, iu bright new costumes,
riding these noble animals, gaily ca
parisoned, was not the least attraction
of the street parade aud presented a
grand sight in the general marches
which ushered in each performaeco.
The acting was good and there was
plenty of it, in fact, too much to at
tempt any description. There were
some new feats exhibited,which receiv
ed well merited applause.

Edison the great electrician, who
has been experimenting with the ca
thode ray on sightless persons, said to a
reporter of the New York Journal:
The hiind—that class of sightless per
sons whose optic nerves are still intact
will he marie to see inside of three
years. I am more than satisfied with
the experiments I have made aud am
now at work on an invention from
which I have every reason to hope I
shall obtain the best of results." It is
sincerely to be hoped that Edison will
succeed in the great work to which he
has addressed himself because it will
be a blessing to suffering humanity
the world over.—States.
HE TOOK IT SERIOUSLY.
Donn Piatt in a very entertaining
article on the "Newspaper Humor of
the Future," published in the Novem
ber Cosmopolitan, relates the follow
ing amusing ouecdote of Charles
Reade:
The late Charles Reade, author ot
the most charming novels in the En
glish language, first called my atten
tion to the peculiar character of our
press. "The enterprise," he said, "is
amazing. An American newspaper is
a daily record of everything. Rending
such is like putting one's head out of
a window, one takes in a world—all
the sights, little au.l big, quiet or
merry—one takes in the bad smells
also. But," he continued, "snch pub
lications are uot possible in England.
The lack of reverence would shock our
people. Why, listen to this," and he
read: '"Jacob Thompson, au estima
ble citizen, who accumulated such a
fortune in dealing in pickled pig's
tails, entered Johnson's blacksmith
shop with five pounds of Abraham
Sutter's best powder in his coat-tail
pocket. He went out through a hole
in the roof. Funeral announcement
as soon as his remains cau be gathered
in from the adjoining counties.' An
English journal that would treat such
a horrible event as that in such a flip
paut manner would be prosecuted."
The humor of this is found iu Charles
Reade treating the item as a historical
fact.^ I could not refrain laughing.
"You are a queer lot," he said,
noting my amused condition, "but
then you read and praise my books. I
wish you would pay for some of them "

WAITING FOR THE WAGON.
The editor sat in his easy chair, with
bis feet on the table k l'Amdricaine,
puffing his one cent cheroot won on
the election, and trying hard to make
something out of ao alleged "Ode to
Prosperity" handed in by the self-con
stituted village poet.
Presently a loud knock resounds at
the sanctum door and the editor, turn
ing his head aud bringing his feet in
proper position, bids his visitor "come
in." Tlie door opens and there sidles
in a tall, gaunt specimen of sturdy
manhood which at 'once reminds
once ro'uiiMi* one
of the atmosphere of ilu^nioniitains or
hock woods. He hns a black shaggy
heard and unkempt hair ; wears big
top-boots, coarse jeans trousers, an
old corduroy jacket and a slouched hat
which adds to the sonihreness of hts
visage. He holds between his teeth
aii old fashioned coru-cob pipe, redo
lent with the fumes of musty tobacco.
The editor gazes upon the appari
tion with a feeling of indecision as to
wliat to expect from such a customer
and revolves in his mind different and
conflicting theories of the object of the
visit of this anpiepessessiiig stranger.
The visitor finally removes his pipe
with deliberation, slowly shakes out
the ashes, and pushing his head-gear
somewhat rearward, ventures the
question :
"Air you the editor of the 'Spread
Eagle' noospaper ?"
"I enjoy that honor," replied the
editor, with conscious pride, hut won
deiiug what next wonld follow. And
then tlie following dialogue took
place.
"Yon keep pretty well posted ou
public questions ?''
• "I try to, any way."
"I beam McKinlee had walloped
Bryau—is that so t"
"It most certainly is."
" That's too had. too had ; ain't it?
And so we won't have free silver
neither ?"
"No, at least not for a while," re
plied the editor wondering what was
the stranger's objective point.
' But they do tell as how McKinlee
be the 'Advanced Agent of Prosper
ity,' don't they
"They do."
"And prosperity means 'good times,'
don't it?"
"Generally."
"And an advanced agent is the fel
low who goes ahead of the show, tell
ing people of its coming, ain't lie ?"
"He is," responded the editor be
coming interested.
"And tlie show usually comes close
behind the advanced agent, don't it ?"
"As a general thing, it does."
"Now, McKinlee done come since
election day and his show ought ter
follow soon, hut it seems ter move
dodgastly slow for we uus who lost we
mis'grab at free silver. Now I wunt
yer ter do we uns a favor."
"If in my power, what is it?"
"I want yer ter forestall the coming
of that prosperity show in yer 'Spread
Eagle noospaper that we uns living on
Bear Creek may hear in time of its
comiDg. Yer see, it's this way': we
uns been chiseled out of we uns' shear
of free silver that Bryan promised:
and since we uns have got ter have
¥j KiD,ee and tbev do tel1 he'a the
Advanced Agent of Prosperity, we uns
be kearful not ter let 'em cheat we
uus cut of the
is
is cut ot the prosperity they do tell
coming. We uus air
the wagon and we nns want ter jump
in when it comes by. Will yer do it.
mister ?" *
The editor promised him to note the
coming event, and the messenger from
Bear Creek bowed in acknowledgment
and strode out with the proud mien
and the expression of satisfaction of a
diplomat who had just successfully
concluded a most delicate affair.
The editor lighted another cheroot ;
K™phite; spread taper
before him ; stroked his whiskers up
and down ; gazed vacantly in the air
for some inspiration, until his eyes
tinall}, rested on the old office cat pur
ring on the empty safe, aud forthwith
sGirted throwing off a glowing account
of the 'Good Times Coming."
The stranger from Bear Cieek has
returned to his uative lair, and "we
uns ftom Bear Creek and from other
nooks and creeks of this great land
are, like him, "waiting for the wagon"
of progress which is to briog us the
promised prosperity.
